A congenial interview with Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) grew tense Monday morning when MS NOW host Joe Scarborough became increasingly impatient with the Senate Minority leader — and snapped at him with “you don’t understand me.”

Schumer, who has been the subject of stories that some Democrats want him to step away from his leadership position, was asked about Donald Trump’s decision to back off on some of the attacks on Iran. That led to the “Morning Joe” co-host lecturing his guest on the public’s perception of the unprovoked war.

Analysts warn Trump is 'sleepwalking toward a real catastrophe' with new Iran threat

A political analyst warned on Sunday that President Donald Trump appears to be "sleepwalking toward a real catastrophe" in Iran after his latest threat.

On Saturday, Trump posted on Truth Social that Iran has 48 hours to reopen the Strait of Hormuz "without threat," or else the U.S. would strike Iran's largest energy facilities. The threat came about a month after the war in Iran began, which has caused energy prices to spike globally. Iran has also effectively shut down the Strait of Hormuz, which accounts for 20% of global energy trade, to U.S. trade ships since the war began.

JD Vance's 'diminution' accelerates as the war in Iran rages on: analysts

Political analysts were floored on Sunday after Vice President JD Vance seemed to struggle selling President Donald Trump's war in Iran during a recent public appearance.

Tommy Vietor and Ben Rhodes, co-hosts of "Pod Save the World," said during a new episode that Vance's recent appearance showed he is trying to "distance himself" from Trump's war, but not enough to anger the president. This stance seems to comport with Vance's rhetoric on the campaign trail, where he made it clear that he would rather take a restrained approach to foreign policy, including backing away from supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression.

Bessent excuses Trump's ugly Mueller remarks because the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent asserted on NBC on Sunday morning that those who were offended by Donald Trump’s universally reviled Truth Social post about the death of former FBI Director Robert Mueller, should approach the controversy from the president’s point of view.

“Meet the Press” host Kristin Welker kicked off the conversation by reading Trump’s posts where he wrote, “Robert Mueller just died. Good. I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people,” and then pressed, "Do you think it’s appropriate for the president of the United States to celebrate the death of an American citizen; someone who’s a Bronze Star, Purple Heart Kristen and who served in Vietnam?”

Trump's UN ambassador refuses to take bombing Iran's nuclear power plant 'off the table'

According to Donald Trump’s UN ambassador, the president should not be constrained from ordering the Pentagon to bomb Iran’s sole nuclear power plant located southeast of the city of Bushehr, situated on the waterfront of the Persian Gulf.

During an appearance on “Face the Nation,” Ambassador Mike Waltz, who was shuffled over to the UN after he was caught up in the “Signalgate” scandal, was asked about Trump’s 48-hour threat to begin bombing Iran’s power plants unless the Strait of Hormuz is opened to shipping.
